Message-ID: <jerrys00145930015150429@holly.wimsey.bc.ca> Date: Fri, 15 Jan 93 15:04:29 PDT Distribution: world Organization: CANCOM, VANCOUVER, B.C./ CANADA Lines: 69 Firstly, I would like to thanks the following people: adrian@rachel.ibmpcug.co.uk chk@mcshh.hanse.de sastdr@torpid.unx.sas.com Thanks guys for your help so far. I will now describe my set and some problems, in the hopes that this will also be of some benefit to others. I am running 386-33 DX (no math co-pro) 4megs memory Adaptek 1542B + Quantum 120meg scsi (lps120s) Hercules Monitor com1 wyse 50 monitor com2 v32bis modem Now I downloaded the bin01 distribution from agate 3 weeks ago. I booted the dist.fs disk install the disk rebooted. (No problems) I then loaded the bin01 and extracted it. Rebooted and I had a working BSD System, I am very pleased with the level of development, and again would like to thank bill, lynn, etc... I downloaded the patch kit from ref.tfs.com and applied all pactches except 19,45 and 47. Rebooted and I had and thing came up ok. Now on with some problems. Remember that I used the dist.fs to install the bsd base system. Well according to disklabel -r as0a reports. as0a / BSD4.2 something something 1 1 etc # (1-111) as0b unused # (112-116) as0c unused # (1-116) entire drive ok now in fstab it looks like: /dev/as0a / ufs rw 1 1 no mention of swap??? How do i know if swap is working, and how can i is the current label correct???? (I am relavtive new to BSD but now to UNIX) PROBLEM #2 I will start a compile, it will go on for a while and then the machine will come to a halt. If I hit CTRL C it will return me to the prompt and if I then retype make, it will just continue.. ok so it mostly works. BUT what causes the beastie to stop??? PROBLEM #3 UUCP, I have recompiled UUCP to HDB standards, that I am used to, I run uuchk and things look ok. I run uucico and it does nothing. I do have debugging turned on. SENDMAIL is a good program, I am not able to get it to route mail properly though. ( I know it is probably me, but if anyone can help please drop me a line with your sendmail.cf) I am using uucp to send and receive mail, I have no smtp connections. ps I am also in a domain. Again guys if you can suggest somethings to help get this machine turned into a useful machine please drop me a line and or post your results here. thanks Jerry Sturge CANCOM TECHNOLOGIES VANCOUVER, BC CANADA (bbbbbrrrrrrr...)
